Wireless charging to go mainstream in 2010, maker says
Taking all of that into account, Lewis said that Fulton's charging systems today are "already equal or slightly more efficient" than plug-charging systems.
Inductive charging systems also do not hurt electrical components in devices or laptops, Lewis said. Not only is the energy too weak to harm people, he said, it also eliminates the risk of electrical shocks present from cable-based power.
"This is the same technology as your wireless toothbrush. We don't think there are any stray fields that will harm you or your devices," he said.
The company, which also partners with Energizer Battery Inc., is a leading member of the Wireless Power Consortium, which is trying to draw up standards for charging low-power devices (8 to 10 watts) such as cellphones.
Lewis acknowledged there is no standards group for medium-power devices such as laptops, or high-power devices such as kitchen appliances or electric cars. The electric cars could eventually be recharged by simply parking them over a special pad-equipped parking space while the driver is at work or a meeting, he said.
He added, however, that the lack of standards bodies could slow the realization of universal, interchangeable wireless power charging stands that are as omnipresent as wall plugs.
"When we still can't figure out whether to put the gas cap on the right or left side of the car, there's a reason to be skeptical" about universal power standards quickly emerging, he said.

Seven men and their trusty snowmobiles will pass through Baker City Sunday on their way from Hoodoo Ski Bowl to West Yellowstone, Mont.
The 1,000-mile trip — never before done on snow — is the result of three years of planning, said Gene Benson, one of the seven riders.

The temperature broke no records this morning in Baker City, a fact which your nose hairs might quibble with.
The molasses-like motor oil that grudgingly got around to lubricating, many metal-grinding seconds after you twisted the ignition key, could conceivably take exception, too.
This was the most frigid morning around here in more than four years.
The temperature at the Baker City Municipal Airport subsided to 14 degrees below zero, the farthest fall since Jan. 5, 2004, when the low as 21 below.

The Baker County YMCA is no longer asking Baker City to pay a $20,000 management fee to the YMCA for running Sam-O Swim Center.
But the YMCA is requesting the city start paying about $13,250 in yearly expenses that the YMCA has been responsible for at the city-owned swimming pool.
The City Council will consider the proposal, the latest in a series of negotiations with the YMCA that dates to last summer, when councilors meet Tuesday at 7 p.m. at City Hall, 1655 First St.
The YMCA first proposed the $20,000 annual management fee in June 2016.
The City Council balked at that proposal, but agreed to extend the YMCA's management contract, which now continues through Feb. 28.

According to reliable sources – aka Wikipedia and the various blogs and websites who have authoritatively regurgitated its contents – the word 'butterscotch' was first recorded in Doncaster in 1817. Little wonder my Doncaster-born husband ranks butterscotch in his top three sweet treats of all time (battling it out against fig rolls and lemon sorbet, if you're interested). Butterscotch Angel Delight is his particular weakness (the boozy version from my book now trumping any nostalgic memories of the nasty artificially flavoured packet stuff) but he's also partial to a simple sauce – on meringues, in cake or smothered all over ice cream. So when I was recently tasked with creating a 'Taste of Britain' for Rennie's 80th birthday celebrations, I knew exactly what to make. Continue reading

Butterscotch Devil's Delight + Publication Day (!)
There are so many thoughts and words spinning round my head today that I'm finding it hard to put them into any kind of cohesive sentence. It's been the strangest of weeks, kicking off with a seven page feature in The Times, followed by a recipe and interview in Marie Claire, two in Stylist, this awesome feature in The Guardian and my first ever radio interview, with another to come on Sunday. To say it's been a whirlwind would be an understatement, and I need a little time for it to all sink in. Continue reading
Chocolate Pecan Ice Cream Pie with Bourbon Butterscotch & Pretzel Crust
Valentine's Day is just around the corner and this year we're going out. Not for a romantic meal, mind you, but because not just one but two of our friends are turning thirty, accompanied by the requisite parties and presents. Some people might be sad to miss out on 'the most romantic night of the year' but I'm happy to. We've never been ones for joining the doey-eyed masses in restaurants on Valentine's Day, instead preferring a date night in with just each other for company and a menu I can take charge of. More specifically, a menu which includes a dessert like this Chocolate Pecan Ice Cream Pie with Bourbon Butterscotch and a Pretzel Crust.

Butterscotch Pecan Ice Cream Tartufi
Cooking, for me, is all about memories; indulging in old ones and creating new ones. Looking back over previous posts, you'll notice that the vast majority include the lines 'When I was little' or 'I've always wanted to recreate', and I think this sentiment is somewhat universal. Much of our lives can be measured in the edible; from celebratory meals and birthday cakes, to the comforting smell of a Sunday roast, the zing of an exotic new spice or a single taste which transports you instantly to a certain time or place.
When I was given an ice cream maker for my birthday, there were certain flavours I knew I had to make. Rich chocolate and vanilla – my all-time favourite childhood combination – velvet smooth and dripping from a giant cone; milky straciatella, packed with fragile shards of bittersweet chocolate; nutty gianduja, a slightly more sophisticated take on Nutella, and mint choc chip – for me the flavour of France – piled high in a sundae glass and topped with delicate clouds of crème chantilly.

PITTSBURGH, PA (PRWEB) November 05, 2016
"When a vehicle gets a rodent infestation, it is a pretty solid bet that the wiring will be chewed up and shot," said an inventor from Sonoma, Calif. "In order to protect against this and other types of damages caused by rodents, I developed this deterrent system."
He created a prototype for the MOTOR RAT PACK to ward away rodents so that they do not nest inside the vehicle. The unit safeguards sensitive components and parts from damages. This provides added peace of mind when leaving a vehicle parked outdoors. Also, it saves the owner from having to pay for repairs due to rodent damage. Furthermore, the invention is adaptable for use with any vehicle.
The original design was submitted to the Sacramento office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers. For more information, write Dept. 15-SAH-1065, InventHelp, 217 Ninth Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, or call (412) 288-1300 ext. 1368.

Mr Fincham, a former BBC1 controller, was responding to questions about the row surrounding the scheduling clashes between Strictly Come Dancing and The X Factor.
A marathon two-hour live X Factor is being planned from 8pm on Saturday, October 10, while Strictly looks set to air from 7.10pm to 9.20pm.
The overlap of one hour and 20 minutes will be the longest of this series.
Mr Fincham said: "They ironically have a greater focus on ratings because that's one of the ways they can gauge success."
He said that as a commercial organisation, ITV had a primary focus in measuring success, on returns on investment.
Asked if he saw any change in the Saturday night shows going head to head, Mr Fincham said: "It's honestly not for me to say. We're very happy with The X Factor where it is.
"We're very happy with the performance and with the audience that it's getting," he said at the launch of a new ITV five-part series called Collision.
The X Factor drew an audience of about two million more viewers than Strictly when the two shows clashed for the first time this series, earlier this month.
Sir Michael Lyons, chairman of the BBC Trust has said previously that "in principle" the BBC should not focus on fighting ITV for viewers, but "on the quality and impact of its programmes, not just audience share".
The BBC has said Strictly's place in the schedule was limited by the need to screen family drama Merlin early in the evening and contractual obligations over the positioning of Match Of The Day. The show has also had to be extended this year after a separate results show on Sunday was dropped.
Mr Fincham was speaking in London at the launch of a new five-part series called Collision, which is due to be "stripped" on ITV1 across one week.
Mr Fincham resigned from the BBC in 2007 following 'Crowngate' after an edited clip of the Queen appearing to storm out of a photo shoot was aired - when in fact she had been walking in.

Why Friends Help Strengthen a Marriage
When our older child was about six months old, Joe said to me, "I miss having friends." This surprised me -- he always has had a ton of friends -- and I pointed this out.
"I know," he answered, "but I never spend time with them."
I missed sleep. That was pretty much my main lament. Though I have always put time into staying connected to old friends, their temporary absence from my life hadn't jarred me. But Joe's comment did.
Here's what I realized: My three sisters and I grew up within a few miles of my dad's three siblings, their spouses and the combined nine first cousins they provided us. Together, we had dinner at our Gran and Papa's most Sunday nights.
But my sisters and I live in three states separated by thousands of miles. In a contemporary society where geography is often incompatible with Sunday night dinners, friends become our family of choice.
That conversation with Joe compelled me to put a premium on forming friendships with couples we both liked. It was one of the smartest things I've ever done for our marriage.
* * *
I love summer. I love the warmth. I love that I don't need to deal with boots, parkas and mittens every time my kids step outside. Most of all I love that those additional hours of daylight let us spend more time with friends. In my town, backyards become communal and the formality of entertaining disappears.
Last weekend, we sat around the patio table of neighbors and close friends Anne and Sean. We were joined by another couple, Julie and Eric, to whom we're also close. Among us we have five kids. A baby was asleep in a car seat at the corner of the deck. The other four kids were playing on the lawn with Eric. Joe and Sean were laughing about something that happened on the golf course earlier in the day. I cooed over the baby (as Joe shot me the occasional "don't get any ideas" look). Anne and Julie bustled, bringing salad to the table and filling glasses with white wine. If I didn't know us all better, I would confuse us for a postcard of marital ease.
"Why is time spent with friends so good for marriage?" I put to the group when we sat down.
"Economies of scale," Sean said instantly, meaning that when the job of dealing with the kids is spread among many, everyone is left a bit more relaxed. Sean has a knack for punctuating his points with metaphors drawn from Econ 101 and Yankees games. It's clear why he, Joe and Eric are so close, sometimes even referring to one another as "Bro" without a hint of irony or embarrassment.
While Joe and Sean met a couple of years ago, and have come to know each other as grown men, Eric and Sean have known each other since college. Eric says that spending time together -- in the presence of his wife and Sean's, or not -- can give him a feeling of autonomy and self-confidence. "You can become defined by fatherhood, marriage and work," added Eric. "Sometimes it's kind of a relief to be seen as just one of the guys, just as Eric, by your friends. It can give a sense of independence which I think makes me a better husband," he said.
We all agreed that friends help you gather perspective on your relationship to your spouse: When you're inside a marriage, it's easy to focus on the points of friction and the minutiae of daily life. It can be difficult to find time to gaze into one another's eyes lovingly (forget lustily) when you're potty-training one kid, trying to sound out words with another and hiding from an editor who wants to know when your already-late column will be turned in.
But friends draw you toward life's big picture. When a friend says to me, "I saw Joe and your daughter at the park and she has him wrapped around her finger," my focus is drawn past dirty socks left on the floor and onto the fact that I married a terrific guy who is loved by many.
Anne and Sean have one of the great marriages and just being in their presence is good for ours. They are a solid team, but also have a good sense of humor about forever-after. As she served the salad, Anne pointed out that even casual acquaintances have brought her closer to matrimonial harmony. She says there have been times when she and Sean have been bickering in the car en route to a social event. But as she engages in cocktail conversation with a blathering bore, her affection for her husband reignites. "I'll look over at Sean and think, 'OK, he's not that bad.'"
We all laughed at this. Joe squeezed my knee under the table. I turned to him. He looked good: backlit by the sunset and through the eyes of those who see him just for his goodness and best intentions, free of the impatience of someone who wants the trash taken out.
* * *
When I first got married I had a vision of a union of two people who realized that they needed nothing in the world but each other. As I've grown older, I see more nuance. A full life, which is what Joe and I each aspire to live, is a complicated life. I have a career, kids, a home, siblings and all the attendant dramas. I can't rely on Joe to be my sole counsel for all that, just as I cannot be his.
Some weeks ago, I faced an upsetting situation related to a story I had written. Joe and I talked it through. "I've got your back," he told me, and I knew it to be true.
But I needed to vent further. I called my friend Lisa. It was a warm day. We took a long walk around the lake by which we live. When I got home, I began to make dinner. "Thanks for being a good wife amid this chaos," Joe said. He probably should have thanked Lisa.

Adult Obesity Rates Remain High but Held Steady
August 19, 2013
by Jeff Levi
Huffington Post
For 10 years, F as in Fat, a study by TFAH and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, has raised awareness about the seriousness of the obesity epidemic. And, after decades of bad news, we're finally seeing signs of progress. Recently, we found that obesity rates remained level in every state except for one in the past year.
And, since 2005, there has been some evidence that the rate of increase has been slowing.According to data compiled by my organization and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation: In 2005, every state but one experienced an increase in obesity rates; in 2008, rates increased in 37 states; in 2010, rates increased in 28 states; and in 2011, rates increased in 16 states.

Altobello Dobermann kennel review
Below is a review for the Altobello Dobermann kennel in Serbia. It is written by a guest writer, who traveled to Serbia in spring 2017 and personally visited this kennel. I am very grateful to this dedicated person for sharing his review on my blog.
The Altobello Dobermann kennel has a lot of dogs and is the largest kennel I've visited so far. Dejan Malbasa is the breeder and owner of the kennel and is very friendly. He calls his kennel a Dobermann Kingdom.
Altobello Dobermann kennel has an impressive history that you can read about on their website. This kennel started as a family doberman kennel, overcoming difficulties of war in Yugoslavia, immigration to Montenegro, and a tragic loss of the original dogs of the kennel. Dejan is the second owner of the Altobello kennel. He had to rebuild the Altobello name in Serbia.
The property of the kennel has some impressive dobermann statues at the entrance gate. There are many very nice paintings and artwork throughout the entire kennel. It includes countless trophies that Altobello Dobermanns have won at the shows over the years.
Dejan explained that he is extremely busy with the upcoming show and needs to make travel arrangements for dogs. He was on the phone most of the time during my visit and excused himself twice to run some errands.
Dejan shared an impressive story with me about one of his dogs. One of his females had a very difficult surgery and had no hope for recovery. Dejan saved her life, while everyone else had already given up on her. That female was roaming next to us during the tour through the Altobello kennel. Dejan proudly shared the plans for the next improvements at the property and the construction of his new home.

This is a common problem in the NW- our cool, wet climate, combined with an abundance of shade-creating trees is the perfect environment for moss and algae to flourish. This can drive homeowners crazy as it not only looks gross, it also leads to quicker deterioration of the roof. There are many gimmicks out there that promise to prevent moss
A lot of homeowners are looking for a roof that will standout more than just a basic shingle, without spending an arm and a leg on a slate or tile roof…or doing a shake roof that wont last long.

A lot of times folks ask us what we offer in terms of "green" or environmentally-friendly options to help solve their window, roofing, siding and decking needs. This is definitely something that is important to our company and we understand how more and more customers are looking for something more responsible for the ecosystem when they undertake a home improvement
We know winter is coming, and if this extreme weather this summer is any indicator of what we have ahead in the coming months, its important to make sure your roof is sound. Rain, wind and cold can do a lot of damage to our homes, and a good solid roof is where it all starts. With all of the
For those of us in the Pacific Northwest, we know how rough the elements are on the exteriors of our homes. Decking is one of those things that can really take a toll from the 8-9 months of constant rain we seem to get. We all know wood is a poor choice if you want something that will look good

In addition to their comfortable rooms you will also find a Jacuzzi and free internet for all guests.

A little about Los Mochis
Located in northern Sinaloa, Mexico, the coastal city of Los Mochis is home to over 230, 000 people. The area was founded in 1893 by a group of American socialists attracted by Albert Kimsey Owen who built the first irrigation ditches in the valley. The city of Los Mochis itself was actually founded by Benjamin Johnston, who made his fortune cultivating sugar cane. The irrigation region is the largest district and the principal agricultural area producing sugar cane, rice, flowers, and a variety of vegetables. The valley is also one of the largest producers of mangoes in Mexico. Many residents of the city also enjoy visiting the nearby beach of El Maviri.

The Coca-Cola Company
The Coca-Cola Company is an American corporation, and manufacturer, retailer, and marketer of nonalcoholic beverage concentrates and syrups.[2] The company is best known for its flagship product Coca-Cola, invented in 1886 by pharmacist John Stith Pemberton in Atlanta, Georgia.[3] The Coca-Cola formula and brand were bought in 1889 by Asa Griggs Candler (December 30, 1851 – March 12, 1929), who incorporated The Coca-Cola Company in 1892. The company—headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, but incorporated in Wilmington, Delaware[4]—has operated a franchised distribution system since 1889: the Company only produces syrup concentrate, which is then sold to various bottlers throughout the world who hold exclusive territories. The company owns its anchor bottler in North America, Coca-Cola Refreshments. The company's stock is listed on the NYSE and is part of DJIA, the S&P 500 index, the Russell 1000 Index, and the Russell 1000 Growth Stock Index. Muhtar Kent serves as chairman of the company with James Quincey as president and chief executive officer.

|List of The Coca-Cola Company subsidiaries
The company has a long history of acquisitions. Coca-Cola acquired Minute Maid in 1960,[5] the Indian cola brand Thums Up in 1993,[6] and Barq's in 1995.[7] In 2001, it acquired the Odwalla brand of fruit juices, smoothies, and bars for $181 million.[8][9] In 2007, it acquired Fuze Beverage from founder Lance Collins and Castanea Partners for an estimated $250 million.[10][11] The company's 2009 bid to buy a Chinese juice maker ended when China rejected its $2.4 billion bid for the Huiyuan Juice Group, on the grounds the resulting company would be a virtual monopoly.[12] Nationalism was also thought to be a reason for aborting the deal.[13] In 1982, Coca-Cola purchased Columbia Pictures for $692 million. It sold the movie studio to Sony, for $3 billion, in 1989.[14] In 2013, Coca-Cola finalized its purchase of ZICO, a coconut water company.[15][16][17] In 2011, the Coca-Cola company bought the rest of the organic tea company Honest Tea, after buying a 40% stake in the company in 2008.[18] In 2015, the company took a minority stake ownership in the cold pressed juice manufacturer, Suja Life LLC.[19][20]
Revenue and salesEdit
According to The Coca-Cola Company's 2005 Annual Report, the firm at that time sold beverage products in more than 200 countries.[21] The 2005 report further states that of the more than 50 billion beverage servings of all types consumed worldwide, daily, beverages bearing the trademarks owned by or licensed to Coca-Cola account for approximately 1.5 billion. Of these, beverages bearing the trademark "Coca-Cola" or "Coke" accounted for approximately 78% of the company's total gallon sales.[21] According to the 2007 Annual Report, Coca-Cola had gallon sales distributed as follows: 43% in the United States, 37% in Mexico, India, Pakistan, Brazil, Japan, and the People's Republic of China, and 20% spread throughout the rest of the world.[citation needed] The figure in 2010 showed that they sold 1.6 billion drinks every day.[citation needed]
In 2010, it was announced that Coca-Cola had become the first brand to top £1 billion in annual UK grocery sales.[22] In 2017, Coke sales were down 11% from a year ago due to consumer tastes shifting away from sugary drinks and due to health risks associated with artificial sweeteners in diet drinks.[23]
Since the 1920s, Coca-Cola has been a publicly traded company.[24] One share of stock purchased in 1919 for $40, with all dividends reinvested, would be worth $9.8 million in 2012, a 10.7% annual increase, adjusted for inflation.[25] In 1987, Coca-Cola once again became one of the 30 stocks which makes up the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which is commonly referenced as a proxy for stock market performance; it had previously been a Dow stock from 1932 to 1935.[26] Coca-Cola has paid a dividend, increasing each year for 49 years.[27][28] Stock is available from a direct purchase program, through Computershare Trust Company, but unlike many programs, has investment fees.[29]

In general, The Coca-Cola Company and its subsidiaries only produce syrup concentrate, which is then sold to various bottlers throughout the world who hold a local Coca-Cola franchise. Coca-Cola bottlers, who hold territorially exclusive contracts with the company, produce the finished product in cans and bottles from the concentrate, in combination with filtered water and sweeteners. The bottlers then sell, distribute, and merchandise the resulting Coca-Cola product to retail stores, vending machines, restaurants, and food service distributors. Outside the United States, these bottlers also control the fountain business.[citation needed]
Since the early 1980s, the company has actively encouraged the consolidation of bottlers, with the company often owning a share of these "anchor bottlers".[31]
- Outside North America
The company's largest bottlers outside North America are:[32]
- Coca-Cola Amatil, based in Australia (Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, South Pacific nations) (Company owns a share)
- Coca-Cola European Partners PLC, based in the United Kingdom (western Europe) (Company owns share)
- International Beverages Pvt. Ltd., based in Bangladesh (Fully owned subsidiary of The Coca Cola Company) [33]
- Coca-Cola Bottling Shqipëria, based in Albania
- Coca-Cola Bottlers Philippines, Inc., based in the Philippines, a joint venture between the company and Coca-Cola FEMSA
- Coca-Cola FEMSA, based in Mexico (parts of Mexico and Latin America) (Company owns share)
- Arca Continental, also based in Mexico (parts of Mexico and Latin America and in US under Coca-Cola Southwest Beverages LLC in the state of Texas and parts of New Mexico, Oklahoma and Arkansas ) (independent)
- Embotelladora Andina S.A, based in Chile (southern South America) (independent)
- Coca-Cola Beverages Africa, based in Port Elizabeth, South Africa (southern and eastern Africa) (company owns share)
- Coca-Cola Korea, based in South Korea (independent)
- Coca-Cola HBC AG, originally based in Greece but now located in Switzerland (Greece, Ireland, Eastern Europe, Russia, and Nigeria) (Company owns share)
- Coca-Cola Icecek, based in Turkey (Turkey, southwest Asia, Arabia) (Company owns share)
- Swire Group, based in Hong Kong (China, Taiwan, Hong Kong) (independent)
- Kirin Company, based in Japan (independent)
- In the United States
In the United States, the company bypasses bottlers and is responsible for the manufacture and sale of fountain syrups directly to authorized fountain wholesalers and some fountain retailers.[34]
After purchasing the North American assets of Coca-Cola Enterprises, as of 2014 the company directly owns 100% of Coca-Cola Refreshments, the anchor bottler of Coca-Cola products in North America, representing about 90% of Canada and 80% of the United States.[citation needed]
Other major bottlers in the United States are:
- Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated, based in Charlotte, North Carolina (company owns share)
- Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Northern New England based in Bedford, New Hampshire and owned by Kirin Company
- Coca-Cola Bottling Company United, based in Birmingham, Alabama (independent)
- Swire Coca-Cola USA, based in Salt Lake City, Utah and owned by Swire Group
In September 2015, the company announced the sale of several production plants and territories to Swire, Consolidated, and United, and creation of the Coca-Cola National Product Supply System which controls 95% of the territory in the United States.[35]
Consumer relations and civic involvementEdit
After Martin Luther King, Jr. won the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize, plans for an interracial celebratory dinner in still-segregated Atlanta were not initially well supported by the city's business elite until Coca-Cola intervened.[36]
J. Paul Austin, the chairman and CEO of Coca-Cola, and Mayor Ivan Allen summoned key Atlanta business leaders to the Commerce Club's eighteenth floor dining room, where Austin told them flatly, 'It is embarrassing for Coca-Cola to be located in a city that refuses to honor its Nobel Prize winner. We are an international business. The Coca-Cola Company does not need Atlanta. You all need to decide whether Atlanta needs the Coca-Cola Company.' Within two hours of the end of that meeting, every ticket to the dinner was sold.
Throughout 2012, Coca-Cola contributed $1,700,500 to a $46 million political campaign known as "The Coalition Against The Costly Food Labeling Proposition, sponsored by Farmers and Food Producers".[38] This organization was set up to oppose a citizen's initiative, known as Proposition 37, demanding mandatory labeling of foods containing genetically modified ingredients.[39]
In 2012, Coca-Cola was listed as a partner of the (RED) campaign, together with other brands such as Nike, Girl, American Express, and Converse. The campaign's mission is to prevent the transmission of the HIV virus from mother to child by 2015 (the campaign's byline is "Fighting for an AIDS Free Generation").[40]
Since the early 2000s, the criticisms over the use of Coca-Cola products as well as the company itself, escalated with concerns over health effects, environmental issues, animal testing, economic business practices and employee issues. The Coca-Cola Company has been faced with multiple lawsuits concerning these various criticisms.
Coca-Cola advertising has "been among the most prolific in marketing history", with a notable and major impact on popular culture and society as a whole.
The logo, bottle design, and brand image are internationally recognizable. Their product is ranked the number one soft drink, repeatedly, internationally, and has notoriety as the first soft drink consumed by astronauts in space. Coca-Cola employs a diverse range of integrated marketing communications to advertise through direct marketing, web based media, social media, and sales promotions (Stringer, 2015).[41]
The company carefully considers all touch points a consumer (or prospective consumer) has with the brand as potential delivery channels for the brand's message, and makes use of all relevant communication systems. This well established, long-standing, consistent approach has created a longing for the product that by far "superseded the desire for that typically associated with a drink to quench one's thirst" (Dudovskiy, 2015).[42]
- Direct marketing
They have exclusive vendor company partnerships, which eliminates competition, e.g. cinemas and restaurants only serving Coca-Cola over Pepsi. At sponsored sporting events, they again eliminate competition by attaining sole sale rights as well as VIP sales opportunities to important clients, for example, baseball fields.
- Viral marketing
The company also markets via mobile marketing in text messages, e.g. viral marketing campaigns (Stringer, 2015).[41]
- Web and social media
They set the industry benchmark as the brand so universally recognized that audience building is unnecessary. Their fan engagement spans 86 million globally across social media channels. They deliver a consistently unified message whether it be through new products, online interaction, and social, cultural, or sporting events (Stringer, 2015).[41]
- Sales and promotions
In the retail setting, direct store beverage delivery trucks (mobile advertising) as well as point of sale coolers and vending machines have bright red logo blazoned branding. In terms of food service, Coca-Cola is a food pairing suggestion that is now ingrained as a food match, e.g., for popcorn, burgers, fries, and hot dog combos (Stringer, 2015).[41]
Products and brandsEdit
The Coca-Cola Company offers more than 350 brands in over 200 countries, aside from its namesake Coca-Cola beverage.
Non-food assetsEdit
Columbia PicturesEdit
Coca-Cola bought Columbia Pictures in 1981 owing to the low monetary value of the studio. The film company was the first and only studio ever owned by Coca-Cola. During its ownership of the studio, the studio released many popular films including Ghostbusters, Stripes, The Karate Kid, and some others. However, after the 1987 film Ishtar, Columbia was sold to Tokyo-based Sony.
World of Coca-ColaEdit
Coca-Cola operates a soft drink themed tourist attraction in Atlanta, Georgia; the World of Coca-Cola is a multi-storied exhibition. It features flavor sampling and a history museum, with locations in Las Vegas, Nevada and Lake Buena Vista, Florida.[43][44]
Other soft drinksEdit
The Coca-Cola Company also produces a number of other soft drinks including Fanta (introduced circa 1941) and Sprite. Fanta's origins date back to World War II during a trade embargo against Germany on cola syrup, making it impossible to sell Coca-Cola in Germany. Max Keith, the head of Coca-Cola's German office during the war, decided to create a new product for the German market, made from products only available in Germany at the time, which they named Fanta.[45] The drink proved to be a hit, and when Coke took over again after the war, it adopted the Fanta brand as well. Fanta was originally an orange flavored soft drink which can come in plastic bottles or cans. It has become available in many different flavors now such as grape, peach, grapefruit, apple, pineapple, and strawberry.
In 1961, Coca-Cola introduced Sprite, a lemon-lime soft drink, and another of the company's bestsellers and its response to 7 Up.
Tab was Coca-Cola's first attempt to develop a diet soft drink, using saccharin as a sugar substitute. Introduced in 1963, the product is still sold today, although its sales have dwindled since the introduction of Diet Coke.[46]
Coca-Cola South Africa also released Valpre Bottled "still" and "sparkling" water.
In 1969, the company released Simba, which was a take on Mountain Dew, and had packaging that was African desert themed, replete with an African Lion as the symbol of the brand. The tagline was "Simba – It Cures the African Thirst."
Also in 1969, the company released a line of products under the name of Santiba, which was targeted for mixing cocktails and party usage, products including Quinine water and Ginger Ale. Like the above-mentioned Simba, the Santiba line of products was short lived in the marketplace.
No longer manufactured, the Coca-Cola BreakMate was a three-flavour dispenser introduced by Coca-Cola and Siemens in 1988. Intended for use in offices with five to fifty people,[47] its refrigerated compartment held three individual one-litre plastic containers of soda syrup and a CO2 tank. Like a soda fountain, it mixed syrup in a 1:5 ratio with carbonated water. In North America, Coca-Cola discontinued spare BreakMate parts in 2007 and stopped distributing the syrup in 2010.[48]
Healthy beveragesEdit
During the 1990s, the company responded to the growing consumer interest in healthy beverages by introducing several new non-carbonated beverage brands. These included Minute Maid Juices to Go, Powerade sports beverage, flavored tea Nestea (in a joint venture with Nestlé), Fruitopia fruit drink, and Dasani water, among others. In 2001, the Minute Maid division launched the Simply Orange brand of juices including orange juice. In 2016, Coca-Cola India introduced Vio (flavoured milk) to enter into the value-added dairy category. The product lays the foundation for Coca-Cola's new segment after carbonated beverages, water and juices.[49]
In 2004, perhaps in response to the burgeoning popularity of low-carbohydrate diets such as the Atkins diet, Coca-Cola announced its intention to develop and sell a low-carbohydrate alternative to Coke Classic, dubbed C2 Cola. C2 contains a mix of high fructose corn syrup, aspartame, sucralose, and Acesulfame potassium. C2 is designed to more closely emulate the taste of Coca-Cola Classic. Even with less than half of the food energy and carbohydrates of standard soft drinks, C2 is not a replacement for zero-calorie soft drinks such as Diet Coke. C2 went on sale in the U.S. on June 11, 2004, and in Canada in August 2004. C2's future is uncertain due to disappointing sales.
Starting in 2009, The Coca-Cola Company invested in Innocent Drinks, first with a minor stake, increasing to 90% in the first quarter of 2013.[50]
It was in May 2014 when Finley, a sparkling fruit-flavoured drink, was launched in France. It was launched in other countries later,[51] including Belgium and Luxembourg in September 2014. Coca-cola first started developing the drink in Belgium in 2001.[52] As of 2014, the drink is targeted for adults, and is low in sugar with four flavors.[51]
Best sellingEdit
Coca-Cola is the best-selling soft drink in most countries, and was recognized as the number one global brand in 2010.[53] While the Middle East is one of the only regions in the world where Coca-Cola is not the number one soda drink, Coca-Cola nonetheless holds almost 25% market share (to Pepsi's 75%) and had double-digit growth in 2003.[54] Similarly, in Scotland, where the locally produced Irn-Bru was once more popular, 2005 figures show that both Coca-Cola and Diet Coke now outsell Irn-Bru.[55] In Peru, the native Inca Kola has been more popular than Coca-Cola, which prompted Coca-Cola to enter in negotiations with the soft drink's company and buy 50% of its stakes. In Japan, the best selling soft drink is not cola, as (canned) tea and coffee are more popular.[56] As such, The Coca-Cola Company's best selling brand there is not Coca-Cola, but Georgia.[57] In May 2016, The Coca-Cola Company temporarily halted production of its signature drink in Venezuela due to sugar shortages.[58] Since then, The Coca-Cola Company has since been using "minimum inventories of raw material" to make their signature drinks at two production plants in Venezuela.[59]
On July 6, 2006, a Coca-Cola employee and two other people were arrested and charged with trying to sell trade secrets information to the soft drink maker's competitor, PepsiCo for $1.5 million. The recipe for Coca-Cola, perhaps the company's most closely guarded secret, was never in jeopardy. Instead, the information was related to a new beverage in development. Coca-Cola executives verified that the documents were valid and proprietary. At least one glass vial containing a sample of a new drink was offered for sale, court documents said. The conspiracy was revealed by PepsiCo, which notified the authorities when they were approached by the conspirators.[60]
Green teaEdit
The company announced a new "negative calorie" green tea drink, Enviga, in 2006, along with trying coffee retail concepts Far Coast and Chaqwa.
On May 25, 2007, Coca-Cola announced it would purchase Glaceau, a maker of flavored vitamin-enhanced drinks (vitamin water), flavored waters, and Burn energy drinks, for $4.1 billion in cash.[61]
Huiyuan JuiceEdit
On September 3, 2008, Coca-Cola announced its intention to make cash offers to purchase China Huiyuan Juice Group Limited (which has a 42% share of the Chinese pure fruit juice market[62]) for US$2.4bn (HK$12.20 per share).[63] China's ministry of commerce blocked the deal on March 18, 2009, arguing that the deal would hurt small local juice companies, could have pushed up juice market prices, and limited consumers' choices.[64]
Coke Mini canEdit
In October 2009, Coca-Cola revealed its new 90-calorie mini can that holds 7.5 fluid ounces.[65] The mini can is often sold in 8 packs. Despite costing nearly 30 percent more per ounce, the mini cans have been met with positive sales figures.[66]
Holiday canEdit
In November 2011, Coca-Cola revealed a seasonal design for their regular Coke cans as part of a partnership with the World Wildlife Fund. However it was withdrawn only a month after release due to consumer complaints about the similar look to the silver cans commonly used for Diet Coke. There were also complaints about deviating from traditional red as the color of Coca-Cola cans previously.[67]
Stake in Monster BeverageEdit
It was announced on August 14, 2014, that Coca-Cola Co is making a cash payment of $2.15 billion for a 16.7 percent stake in Monster Beverage Corp to expand its market for energy drinks. Coke's ownership in Full Throttle and Burn will be transferred to Monster. In return, Monster will transfer its ownership in Hansen's Natural Sodas and Peace Iced Tea to Coke. Muhtar Kent, Coke's chief executive officer, stated that the company has the option to increase its stake to 25 percent but cannot exceed that percentage in the next four years.[68][69]
Coca-Cola's advertising expenses accounted for US$3.256 billion in 2011.[70]
Coca-Cola sponsored the English Football League from the beginning of the 2004–05 season (beginning August 2004) to the start of 2010/11 season, when the Football League replaced it with NPower.[citation needed] Along with this, Coca-Cola sponsored the Coca-Cola Football Camp, that took place in Pretoria, South Africa during the 2010 FIFA World Cup, during which hundreds of teenagers from around the world were able to come together and share their love of the game, partly due to Best Buy's efforts through their @15 program.[71]
Other major sponsorships include the AFL, NHRA, NASCAR, the PGA Tour, NCAA Championships, the Olympic Games, the NRL, the FIFA World Cups and the UEFA European Championships.[citation needed] Each fall, Coca-Cola is the sponsor of the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola held at the East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, GA. The Tour Championship is the season ending tournament of the PGA Tour.[citation needed] In the Philippines, it has a team in the Philippine Basketball Association, the Powerade Tigers.[citation needed]
The company sponsored the popular Fox singing-competition series American Idol from 2002 until 2014.[72]
Coca-Cola is a sponsor of the nightly talk show on PBS, Charlie Rose in the US.[73]
Coca-Cola are also executive producers of Coke Studio (Pakistan). There are various adaptations of Coke Studio such as Coke Studio (India) and Coke Studio (Middle East).
Theme parksEdit
While not necessarily having naming rights to anything in all locations, the company does sponsor and provide beverages in many theme parks, usually in an exclusive capacity. This includes the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts,[a] Merlin Entertainment, Universal Parks & Resorts, Six Flags, Cedar Fair, and SeaWorld Entertainment which are six of the nine largest theme park operators worldwide (it is unknown whether OCT Parks China, the Chimelong Group, or Fantawild, the fourth, seventh, and eighth largest theme park operators respectively, use Coca-Cola).[76]
The company also directly sponsors, with naming rights, the Coca-Cola London Eye and the Coca-Cola Orlando Eye.[77][78]
The company also operates "Coca-Cola" visitor centers in Israel, Belgium and Turkey.[79][80][81]

Question about SanDisk Sansa e250 MP3 Player
I format the whole mp3 player and when i plug it up it will say not anought space music db but when i go to my computer it don,t have nothing on it
but when i msc mode it said disk j it will have nothing?
Posted by robby brown on
I have the same issue. Had some songs on it and one day the sansa e250r stopped playing them. Some still worked, while others did not. So, I reformatted the device. Confirmed no songs, videos or pictures were on the device by viewing it in the control panel. The device still showed the same amount of memory being used. Didn't think it was an issue until I tried to reload the songs to the device. It only allowed us to add 78 songs. The device says its full, but there are only 78 songs on it. No pictures or nothing else. Prior to the reformatting, I had 174 songs on it. PLEASE HELP!!
Go ahead and do this, in case the DB is corrupted:
Format - Erases Everything: Connect your Sansa player to the computer and open Windows Media Player. Click on the Sync tab. Pull down the drop down menu underneath the Sync tab by moving your cursor over the Sync tab and left clicking on the little black arrow underneath the Sync tab. Highlight "Sansa 1GB" (wording may vary slightly), and then select "Format." - this should erase everything.
Firmware Upgrade- Erases Everything: Get the latest firmware upgrade from Sansa - it updates the firmware and erases every song in the player all at once. Note: this method doesn't work if already have the latest firmware. Go to this website and click "Firmware Updater" to find out: http://www.sandisk.com/Retail/DriverDownloads.aspx

Student Charged With Aggravated Assault Felony After Allegedly Kicking Police Officers
Penn State student Kaitlyn Testen faces a number of felony, misdemeanor, and summary charges after she allegedly fought with police officers when they approached her around 2 a.m. Sunday, April 23, near Haller Hall in South, according to StateCollege.com.
A man who was with Testen reportedly fled the scene and police requested more officers to locate him. Police have not identified him at this time.
Testen was reportedly intoxicated and stumbling. When police approached her, she refused to identify herself and tried to leave the area. Police requested university paramedics come to evaluate her, as they say she smelled strongly of alcohol and was slurring her words.
EMS tried to place Testen on a stretcher, but she broke her feet free and allegedly kicked one police officer in the face and another officer in the arm and hand. Inside a police car, she reportedly continued to kick at officers and the windows.
When Testen arrived at the university police station, police say she removed her shorts and urinated on an interview room floor.
Testen was charged with felony counts of aggravated assault, misdemeanor charges of resisting arrest and disorderly conduct, and summary counts of public drunkenness, purchase of alcohol by a minor, and criminal mischief. A preliminary hearing is set for May 3.

Donut Day
In 1917, The Salvation Army established a new mission to provide for the needs of frontline soldiers in France. Approximately 250 volunteers left their families at home to set up service "huts" and "rest rooms" located in abandond buildings near the front lines. Here they provided home cooked food, writing supplies and stamps, and mended clothes for soldiers engaged in battle.
It proved to be quite difficult to provide freshly baked goods from an abandoned building. Two clever Salvation Army lassies began frying donuts in soldiers' helmets, and a new tradition was born. The volunteers could fry approximately 7 donuts per batch, and their original recipe is still in use today!
The donuts, as well as the caring smiles of the girls who served them, brought comfort and a sense of belonging to American soldiers who were missing the special care of their families back home.
The very first Donut Day was celebrated in Chicago in 1938 to raise money for those in need. It has been celebrated each year on the first Friday in June. While it is now a national event, many people have no idea that it originated with the selfess actions of two Salvation Army "Doughnut Girls".
In Kalamazoo, we celebrate Donut Day each year by delivering fresh Sweetwater's Donuts to first responders and military personnel. In addition to recognizing first responders, Sweetwater's Donut Mill donates a portion of their Donut Day proceeds to The Salvation Army to help support community services throughout Kalamazoo County.

After completing this video, the learner will understand proper change management techniques, including performing security impact analysis and the use of versioning and baselining.
- [Voiceover] Information technology is in a constant state of change. It's hard to find an organization that relies on technology that doesn't go through changes every day. These changes may range from simple software updates to major system deployments. Information security professionals must understand the role that change management plays in protecting an organization. Change is a good thing. Progress comes from change, and organizations change on a daily basis. When it comes to information technology, organizations must take steps to ensure that change achieves business objectives without disrupting operations.
That's where change management comes into play. Change management processes ensure that organizations follow a standardized process for requesting, reviewing, approving, and implementing changes to information systems. Change management processes have the goal of minimizing the probability and impact of disruptions to normal IT services because of change. This includes an assessment of the security impact of every proposed change. The standard tool used for change management is the request for change, or RFC.
In an organization practicing strong change management, any individual who wants to change a system writes the change in an RFC that includes some standard elements. RFCs should include a description of the proposed change, an explanation of the expected impact, an assessment of the risk involved with the change, a plan for rolling back the change if it fails, the identity of the individuals or groups involved in the change, a proposed schedule for the change, and the configuration items affected by the change.
Once someone submits an RFC for review, it must be approved by a relevant authority. For minor changes, this my simply be the person's manager. In the case of major changes, the organization's change advisory board, or CAB, my review and approve the change. Some routine changes have preapproved status and may be made as soon as the RFC is submitted. For example, if storage engineers replace backup tapes each month, they might have a preapproved change in the change management system for that activity.
The engineers still submit an RFC, but the RFC is immediately approved due to the fact that it is for a preapproved change. Work may then begin on schedule, with no other approval required. Baselining is an important component of change management. A baseline is a snapshot of a system or application at a given point in time. Baselines may be used to assess whether a system has changed outside of an approved change management process. System administrators may compare a running system to a baseline to identify all changes to the system and then compare those changes to approved RFCs.
Versioning and version control are also a critical component of change management programs, particularly in the area of software and script development. Versioning assigns each release of a piece of software an incrementing version number that may be used to identify any given copy. These numbers are frequently written as three-part decimals, with the first number representing the major version of the software, the second number representing the major update number, and the third number representing minor updates. Apple's iOS uses this scheme, along with many other software products.
For example, i0S 9 is a major version of the iPhone and iPad operating system. When Apple periodically releases major updates to iOS, they add a second number to the version string, such as iOS 9.1. Then, if they make small updates to iOS 9.1 prior to the release of iOS 9.2, they add a third digit, such as iOS 9.1.1. Change management allows technology professionals to track the status of hardware, software, and firmware, ensuring that change occurs when desired but in a controlled fashion that minimizes risk to the organization.
- Implementing security controls and policies
- Performing a risk assessment
- Understanding the five risk management actions
- Managing third-party relationships (vendors, etc.)
- Mitigating risk with change management, audits and assessments, and more
- Building an incident response program
- Understanding digital forensics
- Providing security and compliance training
- Ensuring physical security
- Planning for business continuity and disaster recovery
- Matching controls to security goals

The News You May Have Missed
November 2005By Michael S. Rose
Michael S. Rose is Web Editor of New Oxford Review.
The Human ZooThis summer the London Zoo opened a new exhibit featuring eight human beings frolicking about dressed in nothing but mock fig leaves. According to Agence France-Presse (Aug. 24), the "Human Zoo" is intended to show visitors the basic nature of human beings. "We have set up this exhibit to highlight the spread of man as a plague species and to communicate the importance of man's place in the planet's ecosystem," a statement from the London Zoo explained.
Mobilizing the World's Most Dangerous SpeciesMeanwhile, in Croatia, visitors to the Zagreb Zoo can now experience what it feels like to be a caged animal and learn why humans are "the most dangerous species on the planet." According to Zoo head Mladen Ancic, "it is an action aimed at mobilizing people against bad treatment of animals and encouraging them to protect the environment." Entry into a cage filled with metal and plastic waste will be through a so-called path of conscience, where information panels will detail how humans contribute to the destruction of the earth.
Desperate Housewives SyndromeAn increasing number of middle-age women are suffering from life-threatening eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia. Dr. Chris Freeman, an eating-disorder specialist at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital, calls this trend the "Desperate Housewives Syndrome," after the cult American television series that depicts skinny middle-age moms living like teenyboppers. Since the show started airing in Great Britain, clinics in Scotland have reported a fourfold increase in the number of women between 30 and 50 seeking treatment from disorders normally associated with teenagers and younger women. After watching Desperate Housewives, these women, says Freeman, "think that it is possible to have this glamorous lifestyle and a great sex life if you're skinny" (Scotsman, Aug. 24).
"Borrow a Person"A public library in southern Sweden has launched the Living Library project. In an effort to "enable people to come face-to-face with their prejudices in the hopes of altering their preconceived notions," the library allows bigots to "borrow" a human being instead of a book. "You sometimes hear people's prejudices and you realize that they are just uninformed," said Ulla Brohed of the Malmö Library (The Australian, Aug. 17). Nine "types" of people including a homosexual, an imam, a journalist, a Muslim woman, and a gypsy are available on weekends for members of the public to "borrow" for a 45-minute conversation in the library's outdoor café.

Many teenagers are faced with the question whether to have a debut party or not. Some choose to have a party, which takes them months to prepare, while some opt to save up instead for things like a computer, cellphone, car or a trip.
Not all people know, however, that debut parties need not be lavish and grandiose. A party that can only hold 5 -10 people can still be called a debut! In the Pinoy context, the term debut does not lie on the intimacy or the extravagance of a party. Debuts can be as simple as a get-together of long lost friends and kins. As long as people acknowledge that you are now a lady and ready to conquer anything, the society welcomes you with open arms. You are a debutante in all its sense.

I try to stay away from big budget beer advertising, but sometimes they come up with something that's just too good to ignore.

Well done Bud, well done.
